Fundamentally, there are two dimensions to working with Ayahuasca. Firstly, Ayahuasca is an incredible cleansing and purifying medicine; a doctor spirit who can rid the body of physical impurities, the mind of emotional problems and the soul of spiritual issues that have accumulated over one’s lifetime – many believe even problems from previous incarnations!
Secondly, Ayahuasca is a teacher who can lead one into a lifelong journey of deep personal transformation, and closer connection to the Divine within each one of us. Striving towards realization of one’s “spiritual self” is a crucial element when partaking of Ayahuasca. It is essential to set out your intention clearly, and to approach the work with commitment, determination and respect for the Medicine.
You will need personal integrity and courage as you will often face parts of yourself that you have previously shied away from. We must be clear that Ayahuasca workshops have nothing whatsoever to do with so-called “recreational drug use,” even the use of other entheogens in less traditional contexts – the Workshops are offered as an opportunity for you to do serious work: rebalancing, cleansing and learning about your true self.
If you approach the work with focus, sincerity and dedication, then the results can be highly beneficial. Needless to say the reverse can also be true – the recommendations here are the product of many generations of experience with Ayahuasca gained by the curanderos, and are essential to a safe and productive journey.
